Brain–computer interfacesEEG headsetsBrain-signal recording and assistive technology research.

The lab has three EEG headsets for experimental brain-signal acquisition. The photo in “Inside the lab” shows a headset with live signal visualization.

Physiological measurementMedical devicesHemoglobin, blood-pressure, pulse-oximetry, and blood-glucose equipment.

Hemoglobin measurement devices and blood-pressure monitors complement a Masimo pulse oximeter and an iHealth glucometer for physiological research. Device selection and measurement procedures depend on the study.

Everyday sensingWearables & respirationSmart rings, heart-rate monitors, and respiration-belt equipment.

Smart rings, an H10 heart-rate monitor, and a respiration belt support wearable and breathing-related sensing experiments. Models and sensing capabilities vary by device.

Mobile healthResearch smartphonesCamera-based sensing and mobile application development.

The smartphone register includes six Google Pixel 9 Pro entries and one Pixel 2 entry for mobile sensing experiments and application testing.

Optical experimentsImaging & opticsCameras, microscopes, lenses, lighting, and optical mounting systems.

Basler MED ace 2.3 MP 164 color camera; Dino-Lite AF7515-N2UT digital microscope; Nikon CFI Plan Achromat 10× objective; 200 mm tube lens; 50:50 beam splitter cube; linear polarizer films. Ring-light and 530 nm LED illumination are supported by an LED driver, power supply, and cables. Lens tubes, couplers, C-mount/SM1/SM2/M25/M38 adapters, a Z-axis translation stage, and immersion oil complete the optical toolkit.

Low-frequency acousticsInfrasound recordingEquipment for experimental low-frequency acoustic capture.

An infrasound capture device adds low-frequency acoustic sensing to the lab’s experimental toolkit.

Rapid prototyping3D printingCustom sensor housings, fixtures, and experimental hardware.

The lab’s photographed Bambu Lab P1S printer supports hands-on hardware prototyping, including housings and fixtures for experimental sensing setups.

Electronics & assemblyPrototyping & bench toolsEmbedded boards, circuit components, measurement tools, and build supplies.

Arduino Nano IoT board; breadboard; inductor set; WBC LED circuit board; phone-to-LED circuit cables; multimeter; LCR multimeter; screwdriver set; AA battery and battery holders. Bar and neodymium block magnets support experimental hardware work.
